Genoa has, throughout history, been an important sea power due to its fine harbour and active merchant community. Bombing in WWII destroyed much of the port, however, the city has since rebuilt and modernized its harbour facilities. The port of Genoa now ranks as one of the busiest in Europe and is the centre of Italy's shipbuilding industry.
